Ruby Canyon at Sunset

We were ahead of schedule arriving in Salt Lake City, so I’ve had a while here with a nice 3G connection, so I thought I’d upload this photo taken as we passed through Ruby Canyon near sunset. This is from my cabin, taken with a cheap 50mm lens through the acrylic windows, and without any post-processing save for a bit of cropping.

When in the canyons today I’d wished for a wider lens than the 50mm that I brought, but narrower and without the distortion inherant in the 8mm fisheye. Not wanting to carry large lenses I didn’t bring the 24-70L, but it may have been a good idea. Still, I was able to get a few good images, and more time was spent looking at the canyon directly instead of through a viewfinder.

Tomorrow should involve the Sierra Nevada, including passing through an area right near Donner Pass.
